There’s been a lot of talk about the Chevrolet Uplander for 2008. As a leading van in the mini cargo van market the Uplander (and in this case specically the Base version) has maintained a high standard. The 4-door Uplander is especially appealing to broad audience, making it a perfect van to help Chevrolet as a brand in general.
The restyled Uplander LS is equipped with a 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 12 valves. The engine is mated to a General Motors four-speed transaxle. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2004 version.
The restyled Uplander LT is equipped with a General Motors 3.9-liter 6-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 12 valves. The engine is paired with a General Motors 4-speed transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.
